What the SAMHSA Record Shows About John S Dunn Behavioral Sciences Center

John S Dunn Behavioral Sciences Center is a mental health treatment operated by State government in Houston, Texas. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 3 primary care modalities (residential, outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. MAT is not listed in the current record; callers seeking medication-assisted options should verify directly or check the rankings pages for nearby providers that do offer MAT. The full postal address on file is 5615 H Mark Crosswell Jr Street, Houston, TX 77021.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 9 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Hospital inpatient, Mental health treatment, Outpatient, Partial hospitalization / day treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth), 0 substance or condition categories treated, and 10 clinical treatment approaches (Abnormal involuntary movement scale, Activity therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Electroconvulsive therapy, Group therapy, Individual psychotherapy, Integrated Mental and Substance Use Disorder treatment, Ketamine Infusion Therapy, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy). It serves 11 specific population groups (Adolescents, Adults, Children with serious emotional disturbance, Justice-involved individuals, Persons who have experienced trauma, Persons with DUI/DWI, Persons with co-occurring disorders, Persons with eating disorders, Persons with serious mental illness, Seniors, Young adults) with 6 languages of care (Farsi, Italian, Other languages (excluding Spanish), Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing, Spanish, Vietnamese). Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, a sliding-fee scale, payment assistance, plus 9 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Cash or self-payment, County or local government funds, Federal military insurance (e.g., TRICARE), Medicaid, Medicare, Private health insurance, State mental health agency (or equivalent) funds, State welfare or child and family services funds, and 1 more).

This record is one of the more thoroughly documented mental health treatment listings in Texas: it reports 46 distinct service, population, payment, and language attributes, placing it in the top 7% of 649 facilities statewide (state median: 33). More attributes reported generally means more of your specific questions (payment type, language, care setting) are answered before you call.
